Re: Challenge 766: Plantin's workshop
Max and children's flight delayed by a few hours, so just time for another very quickie. But this IS the last ..... and my nose is still it's normal length.

Wikipedia: "In 1561, the Spanish governor ordered a raid on Plantin's workshop for possibly housing heretical works and being a Protestant sympathiser."

He has his spies at work first ...........

In the entry I posted, I got rid of some of the pipes and missed some too...


But the radiator itself under the window is there in all our images.

You can't have a printshop without an apprentice...



... he's holding a 17th. century screwdriver not a knife.

Oh shoot! Just noticed something...........

Every single one of us so far, myself included, seems to feel that 16th century Antwerp was sufficiently advanced technologically to have central heating radiators!!


Caught that.

Thanks for pointing out the radiator. I will be sure to remove it.

By the time I realised that was a heater, I had too far in the challenge to remove it but thanks for pointing it out David. And also, thank you for the great image!

Gordon, well done with rebuilding the entire machine!

Actually more likely a knife as according the document in the man's hand he would appear to be an apprentice cook - (Cuisinier).

You have excelled yourself Anna. A wonderfully off the wall idea. And so much animation, with all the hallmark tiny details that mark your work. Just splendid!

Re: Challenge 766: Plantin's workshop
Thanks Anna and David. I kept looking at the printer in the original image and eventually decided that animating it would just be too complex. Rebuilding and animating was a far simpler solution and the 3D work was actually quite straightforward.

No David, it is a screwdriver. Plantin supplemented his income by printing menus and handbills for bistros and brasseries... a simple task performed by the apprentices while in training. An historical fact, well documented by Wiki-foolery.

The wedding invitations should have gone out last week so the bride and groom have brought their best man to help them sort out the delay at the printers

Aha! ....... thus the heresy charges. An overzealous misinterpretation of "Devilled Eggs".

That's a fantastic job recreating the printing press, Gordon.

Thanks Steve - I fiddled around as much as I could with the shadows but it is not ideal - pictures of them were surprisingly thin on the ground
